Member Center

America's Poison Centers core membership is made up of the U.S. poison centers who combined answer calls to the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) in every U.S. state and territory. This includes the physicians, pharmacists, nurses, health educators, and administrators they employ. America's Poison Centers provides opportunities for its members to collaborate with other poison center providers across the world but does not accredit those services.
